We get to a situation where he has lots of energy, Longtusk Cub, the Hydra, a Servant, and Chandra and he is at 7 life suspecting I have burn in hand (I&#8217;m bluffing with lands). I have Eidolon, 2 swiftspears, abbott, and firedancer satyr. Finally I draw some burn, but I don&#8217;t know if he has a bunch of Harnessed Lightnings in hand or what. He decides to attack with Longtusk Cub assuming I will block, fearing all his pump spells, but I let it through, he can&#8217;t kill me, and I top deck Exquisite Firecraft, burn his face and attack with prowess triggers.
